NLDS set vs. Giants

Now the Reds have a National League Division Series opponent — the Giants.

Game 1 is set for Saturday at 9:37 p.m. ET/6:37 p.m. PT at AT&T Park. Johnny Cueto will face Matt Cain.

The Reds are flying to San Francisco overnight tonight and will be completely off on Thursday. There is no workout. On Friday, the club will workout at 2 p.m. PT.

General manager Walt Jocketty expected the club will reveal its roster after the workout. Jocketty did say that RHPs Todd Redmond and Pedro Villareal would be going home. SS Didi Gregorius, 2B/3B Henry Rodriguez, OF Denis Phipps, LHP Tony Cingrani will be going to Goodyear.

“They will stay game ready in the event of an injury or something. Everyone else will travel with us,” Jocketty said.

Injured players Bill Bray and Nick Masset were invited to be on the trip.

The Reds now have 28 players left for 25 spots … 13 pitchers and 15 position players.

No game times have been announced for the other games in this series. When I know, you will too.
